I have now enabled all advertising settings on Ezoic. But now the page is very slow. Much slower than my competitor (who also use Ezoic). The Core Web Vitals are not good.
Here is my setting:
Host: Google Cloud,
CDN: Cloudflare,
Theme: Astra,
Ezoic Integration: Plugin,
Nameserver: A German Host,
LEAP: Is activated
Do you have a tip?
Thanks in advance
Many greetings
Mike
Hi Mike,
It is difficult to tell what is going on without looking at the site. But the first thing that comes to mind here is your integration. If you’re only integrating Ezoic by the plugin then you are losing all the benefits of the Ezoic from using their CDN and AI. WordPress Plugin integration will be slower (a lot slower).
I would recommend moving over to integration via Cloudflare, it will be faster and it will increase your EMPV if you are using the Ezoic cache (by 50% in my case).
A side note on Cloudflare integration, make sure that ‘Bot Fight’ mode is disabled (Cloudflare firewall) as this will stop the services from talking to each other. And also whitelist all of Ezoic’s IPs via Cloudflare using a firewall rule and IP list.
Let me know how you get on please.
Paul.
